How do I explain that it's happened to me before! A dupe, right on the edge... and I take him... it's like dying myself, like... like my soul's being torn in half. I don't absorb the wound... but the trauma of what he feels...felt...it's... I just can't.
You wanna see when nothing matters? That's when nothing matters. When you're dead. And not a second before.
I'm Jamie Madrox, the Multiple Man, mutant-turned-private-detective. As a sideline, I send my dupes out into the world to learn things and then rejoin with me so their knowledge is mine. That way I can experience... well... everything.
Bizarre. The more dupes I created, the more it "thinned out" Locke's control, until I finally broke free. And all these Hydra agents dead...because of me. Frightening. But the most frightening thing of all...is that I don't feel anything. No regret. no horror. No elation. Just...empty. And that's bad. Very...very...bad.
There is no hope anymore. Layla is gone. There is no faith anymore. Rahne is gone. Without them, the only thing that remains is taking action, even if it's mindless...and brutal...and designed only to relieve the fury that makes every part of my brain feel like it's on fire. ... No faith, no hope...but I still have compassion. It's the one thing that still separates me from my enemies.
Maybe in the end, what makes heroes into heroes...is that we're just too stupid to quit and as result, even in the face of total defeat...we occasionally luck into a win.
We talk about the past...and our future...and how the past has this funny habit of becoming the furture if you're not careful...if you forget.
She'd known going in that we were mutants. We confided in her because we felt she should know since mutant births can be...unpredictable. But no one could have predicted this. Except...I should have.
I'm sick of the world I'm living in, and the only thing that's kept me going is the hope that I could make it better, and I've given up that hope.
"Come with me if you want to live," she said. And the guy who was suicidal seconds earlier opts for life, goes with her and finds himself staring down the barrel of a Sentinel. Weird definition of "living."
The whole good/evil blurring probably comes from the fact that guys have stopped labeling themselves. Brotherhoods of Evil are so 1960s. Damned inconsiderate, if you ask me.
When faced with an overwhelming threat, the dupes manage to set aside their differences and personality clashes and operate as one. As it turns out, the same can be said for the rest of the team as well.
You know, for the longest time, I wondered how Thor and his pals, in this day and age, could possibly be considered 'gods.' After all, they live in a world filled with beings who are immortal, or have god like powers. So how do they rate? That's what you think right up until you're in the presence of one of them. Then you totally get it.
I feel like I have the out-of-body experience. I'm looking at something that I can't even begin to understand: Layla and me, lying there dead. This is... it's our wedding night. Our wedding night in the future. And the last thing he... I... said before "we" died was that Rahne was responsible for this slaughter. That only I could stop her. What am I doing here? For that matter, if he's Madrox... who the hell am I?
I don't have all the answers, Alex. Not for my "return." Not for X-Factor's status. All I know is this...We're stronger together than apart.
We have a child to raise. A farm to get back up and running. And a world to leave to other people to save. We're done. We're done.
Can you show a little respect? Those are MEs you're eating. I'm not asking you to say grace first, but come on.
Hate to break it to you, bud... we've been doing the same thing back in the old days too. Plenty of times! You should already know I'm a multitasker... even a multi-leisurist. But no matter what... we've always been there for each other and still have every single memory of them. Joking around back when we were government stooges, solving cases when I had the P.I. firm, binging all of Seinfeld... Jamie Madrox is right here. Dupe or not, we're the only best friends you got right now. So we gotta get through this together...
I know I can be a screwup...I've always used my dupes to solve all my problems, but this time, they've gotten me into a lot more trouble. I need to prove to myself that I can be a good dad and fix this mess on my own. Without help from my dupes...or even my best friend.
Every derivative of him is acting on their pent-up aggression more and and more. I just...I can't believe I'd be capable of these things...I wanted to show you how much I've progressed since our first disastrous encounter. I'm a father, a husband, a scientitst, and everything in between. And here we are chasing after the absolute worst of me. How do you do it, Reed? How are you perfect at everything?
Bizarre. The more dupes I created, the more it "thinned out" Locke's control, until I finally broke free. And all these Hydra agents dead...because of me. Frightening. But the most frightening thing of all...is that I don't feel anything. No regret. no horror. No elation. Just... empty. And that's bad. Very... very... bad.
There are days I forget Lorna Dane is the daughter of Magneto, former Top Villain. And then, every so often, something happens to remind me.
Spider-Man | Don't bother trying to talk them into anything -- they're under such heavy-duty brain-washing it's a miracle they can walk and attempt murder at the same time! |
Multiple Man | Hey! Guido and I do the jokes here, Spider! |
Multiple Man | Layla did...You and I...? |
Layla Miller | Of course not, Jamie. |
Multiple Man | Oh thank God. |
Layla Miller | I'm saving myself for our wedding night. |
Franklin Richards | The Invisible Woman has Vanished! |
Multiple Man | Wow. I'm writing that down. |
Darwin | Writing what--? |
Multiple Man | What he just said. It's a great title for, I dunno, something. I love the irony. |
Valeria Richards | It's not irony. Irony entails unintended humor on the speaker's part because he's oblivious to the subtext. That isn't present here. It was, at most, whimsical. It's a common mistake, if that makes you feel any better. |
M | I could kill you just by thinking hard, you know that, right? |
Multiple Man | I do now. |
Multiple Man | All units, report in. What's going on? |
M | Theresa's angry with me and I want to kill Longshot. |
Rictor | I think Star's trying to use Layla to get back at me for something. |
Multiple Man | Yeah, that's real constructive. |
Multiple Man-616 | My...my dupes have their own powers in this world, too? |
Multiple Man-TRN193 | What, not in yours? |
Multiple Man-616 | No. My world sucks. |
Multiple Man-TRN193 | Why so anxious to return to it? |
Multiple Man-616 | The others suck worse. |
Multiple Man | Hey, Pip. I'm back from the dead! |
Pip the Troll | Whatever. Don't bother me when I'm on a porn site. |
Multiple Man | Heard you guys lost. Better luck next time |
Strong Guy | See? Equally important. |
